How to watch DVD collections on Apple TV?

My husband and I move to a new house, my son-in-law bought a new Apple TV for us. I wonder if I need to buy some additional equipment to watch our DVD collections on it. I don’t mind pay for it, just hope it’s easy to use and useful.

The ATV is not a DVD player.

    You will need an external optical drive.  Apple sells a USB external optical drive for $79

    You did not say you lacked a disc player.
    USB-2 is perfectly adequate for the data rates involved. But I recommend you avoid Bus-powered-only solutions unless you only need them a few minutes a month. This vendor's page will give you ideas about other solutions:

  • Watching DVD's on Apple TV

    I am sure this has been done to death!! I am wondering how I go about transferring my DVD collection onto an external HD and then is it possible to watch them on my TV via Apple TV or do they have have to be rent/bought via iTunes and streamed on? About to purchase Apple TV, Airport Extreme and a 1TB HD.
    Thanks

    No, they are in a big stack in my office corner!! I would like to know the procedure that I have to go through. ie what software I need etc.
    Thanks

  • HT3042 how to watch dvd movie with bluetooth

    I want to watch a DVD movie on my macbook air using the dvd drive on another macbook pro.   How do I do this? 

    You can't do it over Bluetooth - it isn't fast enough at all. Plus if you were close enough to have Bluetooth access then you might as well just watch it on the MacBook Pro.
    How to share a drive is described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287 but it doesn't work with DVD movies because they are protected.
    So you can't do what you want to do.

    You could use the AirPlay to stream, it definitely never had to wait more than 30 seconds for you to watch iPhone videos on ATV, for detailed guide, read this: http://www.ifunia.com/blog/how-to-stream-moviesmusic-from-iphone-to-apple-tv/

  • How to watch .avi movies on apple tv 2 gen

    Hi there.
    Just bought an Apple tv gen2 day before yesterday. Here are my question(s)
    1. I am trying to stream .avi format thru my itunes. I was able to stream .mp4( i think) on the apple tv.  How can i stream avi format?
    2. I also have an Ipad 1gen. Everybody keeps talking about mirroring it so that whatever I do on Ipad I can see it on my TV. How do i do that. Sounds really cool.
    Thank you
    Evo_flask

    The way I do it is to use a program/app called Air Video: http://www.inmethod.com/air-video/index.html
    The program will stream .avi files to the app on the iPhone or iPad and then from there you can AirPlay the movie to the AppleTV. The app costs A$2.99 and the server is free. You need iOS 5 for it work. You can still use your Phone for other things though I haven't tried a phone call.
    You can't mirror the iPad 1st gen display but you can use the component cable to plug the iPad directly to the tv and play the movie from Air Video through that rather than AirPlay

  • How to watch iTunes Festival on Apple TV @

  • How to watch home movies on Apple TV?

    I have home movies in IPhoto taken with my Canon Elph. Can I watch these on Apple TV? If so where do I find them?

    Double-click the movie in iPhoto, find it's path from the Open Recent item in the File menu of the QuickTime Player, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, enter the path after deleting everything following the final /, and drag the movie files into the open iTunes window. .........
    I'm sure that will work, but is it all that necessary, surely it's simpler to drag the movie from the iphoto window to the itunes window.
    If it is in the wrong format try advanced/convert selection for Apple TV. Some files may not convert this way, if so, come back for another method based on the type of file you have.

  • How to create DVD image of Apple .dmg on Vista?

    hi all,
    I downloaded the SDK for ios from the Vista machine, and am hoping to burn the dvd iso image onto a disc so that the G3 powerbook/OSX can read it.
    Ive searched and tried several programs, MagicISO seemed to be able to but this feature requires the $34 purchase. i put the iso'd disc in the G3 and it didnt even see it.
    Another thing... in Vista its easy to look at the dvd drive by opening the explorer window, but in OSX nothing i could find would open some window to look at the dvd drive. it made a sound like it was trying to read the disc then gave up. In Vista if you click on the dvd icon it will give some error about the disc but in OSX does it simply not do anything?
    Well the important thing is to get this large image file onto a dvd so the G3 powerbook can read it, thanks for any suggestions!

    I downloaded the SDK for ios from the Vista machine, and am hoping to burn the dvd iso image onto a disc so that the G3 powerbook/OSX can read it.
    Don't bother. The SDK can only be used on an Intel Mac. If for some reason you want to do it anyway, don't convert the dmg. Just burn it as if it was any type of file.
    Another thing... in Vista its easy to look at the dvd drive by opening the explorer window, but in OSX nothing i could find would open some window to look at the dvd drive.
    Only programs such as the System Profiler and Disk Utility will show a drive when it has no available volumes on the Mac.
